Specifically, perimeter security requires protocols for continuous monitoring of the entire perimeter, especially in conjunction with responding to potential breaches in any given sector (McGee 2006). Grounds and perimeter security also requires scenario-based training in conjunction with non-security-related emergency procedures. Specifically, periodic emergency drills involving building tenants and personnel may present a vulnerability where grounds and perimeter security procedures are not equipped to accommodate larger than normal volumes of foot traffic, such as typically associated with fire drills.

Optimal grounds and perimeter security protocols must include procedures for accommodating the increased traffic necessitated by non-security-related emergency drills without compromising general grounds and perimeter security considerations. For the same reason, information detailing emergency drill schedules must be protected from unauthorized access or unnecessary dissemination in advance (Larson 2007).


Technological Advances:

The primary technological advances in physical facility, building, grounds, and perimeter security relate to computerization of relevant security information and its complete integration. Typical emerging technologies that increase physical security include automatic license plate readers to identify potentially dangerous vehicles before they traverse the perimeter, system-wide integration software capable of automatically cross-referencing multiple sources of security-related information (or agency-specific databases), and personnel identification systems such as finger print readers and iris scanners to minimize the vulnerability of identification card scanners systems to situations where individuals other than those to whom identification cards and other electronically read credentials are issued come to possess them (Reed 2008)......
